1. I LOVE the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3. The cords of death compassed me, and the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4. Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5. Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6. The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
7. Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8. For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10. I believe, for I will speak: I was greatly afflicted:
11. I said in my haste, All men are a lie.
12. What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?
13. I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
14. I will pay my vows unto the Lord, yea, in the presence of all his people.
15. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
